Yang Fei finished speaking and, daring not to look into Liu Chan's affectionate eyes, he turned and walked away.

Liu Chan watched Yang Fei's retreating figure dissapear behind the glass revolving doors of the lobby, standing there in a daze.

Suddenly, she clenched her fists and jumped up.

"That's great, he agreed to it, yay yay yay, that's awesome."

Liu Chan had always been a gentle and well-behaved girl.

A single sentence from Yang Fei had her so excited that she couldn't contain herself.

At that moment, a gentle and scholarly voice came from behind Liu Chan.

"Liu Chan, what has made you so happy?"

Liu Chan was startled and turned around.

She just happened to see Minister Huang Wei of the Human Resources Department, smiling and standing in front of her.

Huang Wei was also considered a veteran at Yalan International.

He was a business elite whom Su Yinxue had gone to great lengths to poach from a large domestic conglomerate.

Huang Wei graduated from Tsinghua University in the Capital City and possessed many personal connections.

He had a wide circle of friends in the business world and was very capable himself.

This man was considered one of the key generals in the core management team of Yalan International.

With a distinguished academic background and superb management skills.

What was most important was that Huang Wei was also a bona fide handsome man.

So, as the head of the Human Resources Department, Huang Wei had many admirers within the company.

Many female employees held a favorable impression of him.

Seeing Huang Wei smiling and standing there, Liu Chan inevitably felt a bit guilty.

She stammered, "Oh, it's Minister Huang, there's... there's nothing really."

Huang Wei hummed and glanced at Liu Chan from the corner of his eye.

All of a sudden, he said, "Has President Su's cough gotten any better? I've brought her some herbal soup."

As he spoke, he opened his briefcase, took out a thermos, and handed it to Liu Chan.

"Can you take this up to her? It's herbal medicine; it tastes a bit bitter."

"But it's extremely good for the body and doesn't have any side effects."

He said this and opened the second layer of the thermos, signaling Liu Chan to look closely.

"This is honey water; if she finds it too bitter, let her drink some of this."

Liu Chan looked at Huang Wei blankly.

"Minister Huang, why don't you deliver it to President Su yourself? Let her know of your kind intentions."

Huang Wei chuckled ruefully.

"I'm worried that if President Su knew I brewed this medicine, she might not accept my goodwill."

Liu Chan was somewhat puzzled, but still accepted the thermos from Minister Huang.

"Alright, I'll take it up to President Su."

As he watched Liu Chan's back, Huang Wei's smile gradually faded.

Replacing the smile on his face was a trace of sinister intent that was imperceptible.

Liu Chan had just finished cleaning President Su Yinxue's office.

Su Yinxue arrived at her office.

Today, Su Yinxue was still dressed in a black suit with a small open-front collar for office ladies, her long suit pants outlining her trim, graceful legs.

Her crystal high heels clicked on the floor with a clatter.

Su Yinxue was often busy with work.

Aside from necessary business gatherings, where she would wear fancy dresses.

At the company, Su Yinxue was almost always in uniform office lady attire.

By company policy, as the president, Su Yinxue had to set an example.

When Su Yinxue entered the office and greeted Liu Chan, she smelled the strong scent of Chinese medicine.

Then, she noticed the thermos sitting on the table.

Su Yinxue's brows slightly furrowed, a hint of displeasure on her delicate and fair cheeks.

"Liu Chan, what is this?"

Liu Chan carefully opened the thermos.

"This is herbal medicine brewed specially by Minister Huang; he mentioned that your cough hasn't cleared up, so..."

As she spoke, Liu Chan noticed the displeased look on Su Yinxue's face and wisely trailed off.

Su Yinxue's frown deepened.

```

After a long pause, she said indifferently, "Pour out the Chinese medicine and return the thermos to Huang Wei."

"Just say that I appreciate his kindness, but my cough has already improved. There's no need to send more."

As she spoke, Su Yinxue suddenly started coughing violently.

She covered her mouth, her breathing somewhat rapid.

Liu Chan looked at Su Yinxue worriedly, "President Su, how are you feeling?"

"Why don't you drink this medicine?"

"Right, Minister Huang said the medicine is bitter, and he has also prepared some honey for you, claiming that honey and Chinese medicine do not conflict."

Due to the coughing, a few traces of rosy red appeared on Su Yinxue's porcelain-like cheeks, looking as fresh and pink as peach petals.

She sighed and shook her head.

"You don't understand, just do as I told you and have the finance department bring up yesterday's report. I want to personally review it."

With no other choice, Liu Chan complied.

Inside the office of the Public Relations Department head.

Yang Fei stood respectfully behind Chen Ke with a cup of tea in his hand.

It was as if Chen Ke didn't even notice Yang Fei; she was focused on a report.

This scene had been ongoing for a full twenty minutes.

Ever since Chen Ke specifically called Yang Fei into the office, this had started.

Yang Fei had requested two days of leave.

But this guy did not return after that and had unilaterally stretched it to a week.

Chen Ke was very angry, and the consequences... were uncertain.

In fact, Chen Ke had called Su Yinxue several times.

Asking Su Yinxue to take back this "monster."

However, Su Yinxue always disagreed, and without any reason.

Hence, Chen Ke was both annoyed and helpless.

In the face of Chen Ke's deliberate cold shoulder, Yang Fei was all smiles, not offended in the slightest.

This guy could stand at attention in perfect military posture for ten straight hours.

This bit of punishment was nothing to Yang Fei.

Moreover, standing at this angle allowed Yang Fei to fully appreciate Chen Ke's graceful figure.

Her off-white sheath dress was slightly wrinkled.

Sitting on the office chair, her voluptuous curves were slightly deformed due to the pressure.

The hard lines of the office chair contrasted starkly with her soft curves.

Below the sheath dress, her slender, creamy legs wrapped in black pantyhose appeared exceptionally straight and sexy.

Chen Ke was looking down at her computer.

From Yang Fei's perspective, he could see her soft, fair neck, which was as graceful and elegant as a swan's.

And her wine-red hair, tied into a high ponytail, with a naughty strand falling across her cheek.

Viewing Chen Ke from the side was like looking at an exquisite silhouette, full of artistic beauty.

Chen Ke had summoned Yang Fei into her office and purposely punished him to stand still, but her heart was in turmoil.

She simply didn't know how to deal with this insubordinate subordinate.

Being tough with him seemed futile; last time she was slapped twice by him, hurting for several days.

To fire him, President Su disagreed.

What should she do?

Could this guy really get away with his extended absence with just a symbolic fine?

If she didn't discipline this guy, Chen Ke felt she could not soothe the frustration in her heart.

As Chen Ke pondered, she unconsciously glanced at Yang Fei.

She caught Yang Fei slurping, eying her up and down with a dazed look.

Chen Ke was startled and instinctively covered her chest.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at you, Minister. Forgive my bluntness, but you, Minister Chen, are definitely the second most beautiful woman at Yalan International," Yang Fei said, continuing to slurp, his gaze unyielding.

"You bastard!"

Under his gaze, Chen Ke felt as if she were undressed, and she cursed angrily.

Then, somewhat unconvinced, she asked, "And who's ranked number one?"
